This question raises 2 points.

js. Generally should be avoided. Prefer to use scala instead. Any
Anyway, if you are stuck with js.Any, somehow raise it to scala. Anyone then do the usual pattern matching:

def isNumber (x: js.Any): Boolean = {
  (x: Any) match {
     case x: Double => true
     case _ => false
  }
}
